Welcome to West Cornwall Walking Holidays
We are Chris and Sara, a couple who have lived and worked in West Cornwall for nearly 30 years and who both have a passion for the area, its people and places.
I developed a keen interest for walking from an early age, and have always loved to be outdoors and in nature. I have spent all of my working life outside in a range of locations, with several periods working with the National Trust, and also spent a memorable time working as a Forester, helping to clear storm damage on the small Island of Tresco, in the Isles of Scilly!
Most recently I have been working as an Area Ranger for the National Trust, based locally at Botallack, with a workshop and office a few hundred yards from the Coastal Path. I have been part of a team responsible for conservation and access along sections of the South West Coast.
I am currently a member of the Lands End Coastguard Search & Rescue Team, on call 24 hours a day to help anyone who gets into difficulty along the coastline – so you can rest assured you’re in safe hands!
When not working we like to travel in our campervan with our daughter and dog Scruff, and I enjoy hiking and backpacking.
We have recently set up this company to offer guided walking holidays in West Cornwall – it has been a dream of mine for many years, indulging my passion for sharing this incredible landscape with others.
‘This was our second stay at Driftwood, so that tells you we were happy to return to the property.
We had all we needed for our stay and couldn’t fault the attention to detail. Chris and Sarah were friendly and helpful..’

‘Driftwood is absolutely amazing. The owners, Chris and Sara, came to welcome us and were always about
if you need anything. When we return to Cornwall in the future, we will definitely book Driftwood.’
